general respects to ft. calophylla, except in certain characteristics of seed, 

 seed vessels and seedlings. The flowers also are nearly always of a more 

 brilliant color, ranging from orange scarlet through crimson. This character 

 does not always hold on first inspection as some of the forms of 15. calophylla 

 are deep red in color. It is a small tree at best and has been used successfully 

 in the streets where the parking is of sufficient width to accoraodate the roots 

 without danger of injury to sidewalk or curb. 



globulus. Labill. Blue Gum. This is of course the com onest Eucalypt 

 grown in California and is too well known to need description here. For it, no 

 place can be urged among the trees for the city. Its beauty is undeniable 

 but its extreme size makes it unsafe at times, causes breaking of curbs and 

 sidewalks, necessitates extremely large parking spaces at any rate, often in- 

 terferes with water pipes and in every way makes it inevitable that it should be 

 given a place on a wide boulevard in the country where its gr.iat beauty and size 

 may be fully developed without interfering with the factors which go to make 

 city streots desirable in every way. 



Jt ponio calyx. F.v M. This is a medium sized tree with large leaves of 

 a shape somewhat similar to that of the Blue Gum leaves. The bark is rough 

 on the trunk and somewhat deciduous on the upper limbs. The flowers are 

 borne in axillary umbels and are not showy. 



Since the leaves are rather pale in color and freely spotted it is known 

 in some parts of Australia as the "Victorian Spotted Gum". 



-leucoxylon This species is comaonly found and is often called the 

 White Ironbark. It is a fairly tall tree, branching fairly well down the 

 trunk with light colored bark which is deciduous. The flowers occur in axillary 

 umbels and are quite uniformly three in number. They are white in color and not 

 particularly striking. 



This species is not one of marked individuality but is a good tree and may 

 find a place in some highway work. 



it is quite closely related to JS. sideroxylon. which it resembles in most
